Mount Stewart House Awarded IStructE Award for Structural Heritage

November 2016

The Structural Awards aim to 'recognise the world's most talented structural designers, showcase the projects that lead industry development, and raise awareness of structural engineers' role as...creative, innovative design professionals.'

Judge's comments - 'Exceptional care had to be taken in correcting various structural inadequacies in this fine eighteenth century house....The judges were particularly impressed by the invention of a trussed system introduced between the timber floor joists to stiffen them to carry public access loads on their eight metre span.'
